The Osun State caucus of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has pledged unwavering support for Governor Ademola Adeleke, declaring its commitment to stand by him regardless of his political direction, following widespread speculation over a possible defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a communiqué issued at the end of a caucus meeting, the party stated unequivocally: “We will follow Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke wherever he goes.”
The resolution was endorsed by key PDP stakeholders, including members of the National Assembly, Osun State House of Assembly, State Executive Council, party executives, the Elders’ Forum, the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), and political appointees.
Although Governor Adeleke has yet to make a public declaration regarding any defection, the party leadership revealed that it has mandated him to broaden consultations across political and geographical lines.
The caucus reiterated its confidence in Adeleke’s leadership and pledged to back him irrespective of the outcome of his engagements.
As speculation continues to swirl, the governor has remained tight-lipped, leaving political observers across the state watching closely for his next move.
